**Question 11 of 15** The image presents two questions about chemical structures: 1. **For which structure or structures does the electron-bearing carbon atom have a formal charge of 0?** - Options: - neither - ethyl radical only - methylene only - both 2. **For which structure or structures is the net charge 0?** - Options: - neither - ethyl radical only - methylene only - both On the left of the questions, two structures are labeled: - **methylene** - **ethyl radical** These questions assess understanding of formal charges and net charge in the context of organic radicals. No diagrams or graphs accompany the text. **Consider these structures:** 1. **Methylene:** - Structure: H₂C with a double dot representing unpaired electrons on the carbon atom. 2. **Ethyl Radical:** - Structure: H₃C-CH₂ with a single dot representing the unpaired electron on the second carbon atom. **Questions:** 1. **For which structure or structures does the electron-bearing carbon atom have a formal charge of 0?** - Options: - O both - O neither - O ethyl radical only - O methylene only 2. **For which structure or structures is the net charge 0?** - Options: - O both - O neither - O ethyl radical only - O methylene only
